Lecture Notes 09

An oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device that shows the relationship between voltage and time of an electrical signal on its x and y axes respectively. It provides information on signal parameters like frequency, phase, rise/fall times. Oscilloscopes are used to design, repair electronic equipment and measure physical phenomena by using appropriate transducers. The control panel has vertical, horizontal, and trigger sections to set amplitude, timebase, and trigger the signal. Analog oscilloscopes use sweep generators and amplifiers for real-time display while digital ones sample and store signals for analysis. Probes are used to connect to circuits and come in passive and active types for different applications like low/high frequency signals.
